One‐Step Synthesis and Exploratory Chemistry of [5]Dendralene

Abstract

Complex polycycles made simple: A practical synthesis of the simplest cross‐conjugated pentaene, [5]dendralene, is reported. The hydrocarbon undergoes controllable and atom‐efficient domino sequences (see scheme) to generate complex polycyclic frameworks in an operationally simple manner.

Syntheses and Applications of Functionalized Bicyclo[3.2.1]octanes: Thirteen Years of Progress

“…162 Under controlled conditions, Diels−Alder dimerization of 288 led to 289 as a minor component of the reaction mixture. Upon heating in refluxing chlorobenzene, 289 underwent a remarkable domino 6π-electrocyclization/intramolecular Diels−Alder sequence to form the product 290 in good yield.…”
